+This directory contains files for building various installation packages, the
+create_installation_packages.sh script can these files to create:
+  - RPM package
+  - Debian package
+  - Windows installer
+  - tarball with the source code
+  - ebuild for Gentoo Linux
+  - PKGBUILD file for Arch Linux
+  - freeBSD port
+
+Microsoft Windows specific requiremens:
+---------------------------------------
+
+1) This part of te directory structure is NOT included in source tarball, nor
+it's in the project's GIT repository, however, it is required in order to build
+package for Windows. If you want to build the installer package for MS Windows,
+you have to obtain these files somewhere, freewrap can be just downloaded from
+the Internet, but the you would probably have to build all those .dll files. All
+version and file names must be met exactly!

+2) Inno Setup and the final Windows package: you can build even the Windows
+installer file (an .exe file) directly from GNU/Linux, the script can so this
+automatically, but you have to install Wine and Inno Setup in Wine (both can be
+easily obtained from the Internet). Run winecfg and set "W:" drive to the
+directory where you have located your local mcu8051ide development directory
+(it might/should be different from the installation directory),
+e.g. "/home/some_user_name/" (in case there is
+"/home/some_user_name/mcu8051ide/pkg/create_installation_packages.sh", ...)
